Story

Hello and thank you for visiting our fundraising page!

I will be walking 5k with my mum and my dad on June 28th after being diagnosed with IBD in September 2013. IBD stands for Inflammatory Bowel Disease and is a term mainly used to describe two conditions: Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis. Both Crohn's and UC are chronic illnesses (life long) that involves inflammation of the gut. I suffer from Ulcerative Colitis myself so I know how hard it is. 

So far, there is no cure for these horrible diseases but 'Crohn's and Colitis UK' aims to improve life for everyone affected by IBD. Large or small, donations make a big difference to the thousands of people who use their information and support services, or who benefit from their general work such as research.

So come on guys, lets help me raise as much money as we can to try to find a cure and kick Crohn's and Colitis' butt!
